Yes Jim, Dan is a crusader for the good of S, just like SHS and Overland did back a few years ago and to some degree what Pacific Rail Shops and Southwind had done with their full page ads in magazines. I think model railroading was buzzing with just a little S envy. I would suppose the only manufacturer running 'big time' ads is PBL in today's market.
I often have mentioned that a manufacturer can sell to his market or he, with lots of effort, create a market for himself. In this case I'll bring up PBL again, as they pretty much have created a market, and have extremely loyal customers in that market. They sell a goodly amount of brass engines (plus their new hybrid K engine), passenger cars and lots of injected molded freight cars. I don't know how many full time people they really have in running the operation but they are a good source of many items and they seem to manage to pay California taxes!
